Miss Karen H Kruzycka and Mr Paul A Rood are proud to announce that they
are now officially "lving in sin" in the heart of sunny Colchester.

They would further like to invite their friends from AFP to a house
warming meet to be arranged for early October.

The meet date will depend on rehersals for a production of Nicolas
Nickleby, in which Miss Kruzycka and Mr Rood have parts.

More details will be available at the Reading meet on Saturday 28th
which Miss K (the Vodka Vixen) and Mr Rood intend to attend since it
happens to fall on a very special day for Mr Rood.

Fools! Fools! Yeah, that's me for one. Is it a 'bring your own vodka'
party? Or just a 'bring vodka for Karen' affair?

Congratulations and all that. It's about bloody time.

Actually, Once they get rid of that poxy set of roundabouts[1] down
towards the Uni, Colchester will be a nice place(tm).

I mentioned this to a certain chocolate-eater from Suffolk, and she
asked me to point out that we are currently lodging in sin (sometimes)
in Ipswich (where it wasn't sunny last week).

Obviously not the same place as us. Alan and I have been in the

Somewhere in deepest Devon, there's a Royal Mail sorting office,
which has been overrun by misdelivered hamsters and hedgehogs
who've escaped from the sanctuary.
There's even one poor soul who was pre-laminated by mistake.

All you have to do is go there, knock at the door politely,
and ask the hedgehog at Reception for your hamster. You'll
need to bring documents showing that you've been living
in sin for a period of time greater than 1 (one) calendar
year. References from your friends, neighbours and parents will
help here.

Still, what he says is true. If Sin is the part of Colchester near the
garrison, then we're living in it *confused look*. And very nice it is, too.

As Londo mentioned, we'd like to host an afpissup sometime in late
October. I hope as many of you turn up as possible - HINT vodka makes a

The suicide rate on afp has been close to 0 lately, hasn't it?
Being on afp is after all pretty good therapy. afp may make us
weird, but does wonders against depression.

Ah yes, that was a good one. Now, if I had more than one user

Fore heaven's sake! Paul is obviously a fairway away from his
dictionary, so he can't correct his rough spelling. It really tees me
off, and I feel I have to putt it right.

If it works the same way other refunds do, you'd have to return the
unused portion of Alan in order to obtain a full refund.

If all goes well, I'll be arriving in Manchester around October 9th or
16th and leaving two weeks later, either the 22nd or 29th.
Tentative plans are to stay in Manchester area for around four days,
then on to London for about four days, then on to Thatcham for the
remainder of the visit. Any chance our plans might coincide?

As Alan has replied elsewhere, 'What unused portion?', so the problem

Ah. I forsee a problem - well, to be more precise, Helen pointed it
out to me at the meet last night - now we've had the banns published,
'they' will know that we are going legal, so although we've *been*
living in sin for the required period, I think we've just disqualified
ourselves. Oh well...:-)

I will definatly be in Colchester on 25/26/27 October at a Leisure
center or something on the edge of town.

I keep forgetting to check the exact location, but there should be
adverts up for the rail-ex by now.

As to making an afpmeet, I'm not sure what the host club has arranged.

Given the way that that pair behave, I have the gravest doubts that
there are any parts of either of them that are unused.

As this does not coincide with the recently proposed Lancaster Book Signing
Meet (which I am interested in, btw, if it is still happening and I can
arrange suitable transportation et al) should we not begin planning another
afpMeet in honour of our international soooperstar's visit?

This is not a voluntation to arrange such a meet as my knowledge of the
Manchester area is pitiful at best. But I would be interested in attending
said event.

As of Wednesday, Rocky could not say which dates it will be.
Assuming that a Saturday is best for a meet, that makes it either the 12th
or the 19th.
If the 12th, we do not have much time to put it together. Rocky will be
staying in Cheadle Hulme which is some 10 miles south of Manchester. There
are a couple of possible pubs and restaurants in the area and I do have
some crash space available. I have also a piano and guitars so, if we get
lucky, some music before or after the meet :)

Email me if you are interested and I will send you my address.

A reminder -

I am trying to set-up an afpmeet for Sat 12th to let those who wish meet
Rocky.
Due to short notice I intend to group up at my house in Cheadle Hulme and
then find a pub.

Some crash space available.

email me if you are interested and I will send address.
